Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 140: Tian Guxing wears mourning clothes and walks around Mahjong in Jiang boots

After Shan Xiongxin knelt and kowtowed in mourning, a few lines of names suddenly appeared on the blank token in front of him:

[The memorial tablets for the 3,242 eels in Xiaolugou.]

Shit, Shan Xiongxin's talent of wearing mourning clothes can certainly improve his cultivation strength for a short period of time, but the price is the collective death of his own clan and blood-related eels?
Liu Qing hurriedly waved his hand to tear away the evil fog, and looked towards Xiaolugou with all his eyesight. Sure enough, a dense layer of eel corpses floated up on the surface of the water in Xiaolugou.

Shan Xiongxin was born in Xiaolugou. He was the first spirit that Liu Qing discovered after occupying Xiaolugou. He later moved it to Shetan.

The eels of the same species in Xiaolugou were proud of Shan Xiongxin, but they didn't expect that Shan Xiongxin had just gained his talent and couldn't help but try it out, and was mysteriously implicated and died.

Liu Qing was afraid, fortunately he was a snake python, not an eel, otherwise he would have been killed.

Shan Xiongxin has awakened his talent for wearing mourning clothes, and has become the nemesis of his tribe and a killer of his relatives. He needs to be watched closely from now on.

If any female snake in the snake pond took a fancy to him, he would never dare to let them marry, for fear of the karmic entanglement that would bring disaster to himself.

Shan Xiongxin tried his talent, and after a brief boost in strength, his strength plummeted again, leaving him with severe sequelae and very weak.

Hong Gu also gave him a sea spirit. After Shan Xiongxin thanked him and swallowed it, his weakness was slightly relieved and he could barely move. At this time, it seemed to have noticed something, apologized, and dragged its weak body to swim to Xiaolugou.
After a while, Shan Xiongxin's mournful cries were heard.

"I hope he learns from this lesson and doesn't use this talent lightly in the future, lest he become a lifelong unlucky star. Also, if he encounters the eel from the Water Palace, remind him to prepare a coffin for himself as soon as possible, lest he die suddenly without time to prepare."

The next ten days were all cloudy and rainy. After Qingming Festival, plum rain arrived. The pear blossoms on the shore had already withered. After the mulberry flowers faded, green round fruits were produced, swaying in the wind and rain.

There were many wild cherries in the forest. Bai Sheer and Xiao Ya were greedy, so they picked a lot of them. They grimaced at the sourness, but kept stuffing them into their mouths, which made Liu Qing's teeth ache.

During the rainy season, it was naturally impossible to absorb the moonlight, and thus there was no harvest of the source of heaven and earth. Although Liu Qing could also rely on his great talent of swallowing elephants,
Swallowing and refining the water and air, extracting the spiritual energy within, but the water and the air above the water must be inhabited by the creatures of the Snake Pond, nourishing them to slowly transform.

However, Liu Qing didn't want to swallow it and refine it, so as to extract the spiritual energy contained in it and transform it into the source energy of heaven and earth, so as not to delay them and cause cause and effect.

Besides, the spiritual energy contained in these water and air is very thin. Even if you work hard, you won't gain much in a day.

Therefore, Liu Qing did not intend to do so.

There was no harvest of Heaven and Earth Source Qi for more than ten days, but it was not too urgent. With the improvement of Taoism, his lifespan had long exceeded the limit of his race. Even without practicing, he could still live for hundreds of years. This long life of a demon was just a blink of an eye.

Although there was no harvest of the source of heaven and earth energy, progress in other aspects was good. The last acquired spiritual treasure, the mid-grade Dragon Palace, had been completely refined.

Seeing that Liu Qing had been barefoot since he transformed, Hong Gu felt sorry for him and gave him the walking boots she brought from the East China Sea treasure house.

Hong Gu insisted, and Liu Qing had no way to refuse, so he had to eat this bowl of soft rice with tears.

The river walking boots and the water-covering shoes on Hong Gu's feet are a pair. The water-covering shoes are red and the river walking boots are black. They are also acquired spiritual treasures, of lower grade, and can control water. Although their speed in the water is far inferior to that of the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, it is much faster than it walking on the waves by itself.

It took Liu Qing less than a day to completely refine the low-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Walking River Boots.

At this point, Liu Qing had in his hands four acquired world-class spiritual treasures, namely the Yin Yu Ling Banner, the Qianchuan Wanshui Flag, the Yin Yang Harmony Drum, and the Walking River Boots, and one acquired mid-class spiritual treasure, the Dragon Palace.

Lingbao Dragon Palace has been renamed "Liu Mansion". After it is fully refined, it can be controlled as easily as an arm.

Liu Qing only used his demon consciousness to repair the collapsed and broken palace walls and houses with the various East China Sea spiritual materials that Hong Gu had taken out. His efficiency was many times faster than that of Hong Gu, Xiao Ya, and Bai She'er.
The Lingbao Liu Mansion was now completely renovated. Liu Qing thought that he might need to entertain guests in the future, so he separated the Jinghe River water in the Lingbao Mansion.
Half of it has water, which can be used as a habitat for river monsters that need water, and the other half has no water, which is prepared to entertain Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji and others in the future.

The Lingbao Liu Mansion was transformed into the size of a house on earth, and was supported by the crooked mulberry tree in the branches at the top of the tree, like an ancient tree nest. The crooked mulberry tree also used branches to weave a staircase to facilitate going up and down.

When Liu Qing had nothing to do, he and Hong Gu went into the mansion to rest. However, rest has an end and it is always boring.

So Liu Qing had an idea and borrowed a piece of warm jade from Hong Gu. He used a water knife to cut it into small cubes and then engraved words and patterns on them.

A set of mahjong is made.

Liu Qing, Hong Gu, Bai She'er, and Xiao Ya are playing bird hunting. If anyone loses and gets angry, the Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast can take his place.

Of course, the gambling money is the money for incense offerings.

I originally thought that Hong Gu had the most money at the poker table, but unexpectedly, she was the poorest. When I asked her why,

She actually said that vulgar things like incense and silver were not worthy of appearing in the East China Sea. Therefore, even though she emptied the treasure house of the Dragon Palace, she did not have a single penny of incense and silver in her hand.

Liu Qing finally felt proud for a while, and with a big hand, he lent Hong Gu 500 taels. There was no father and son at the gambling table, let alone husband and wife. Liu Qing said that this incense money could not be lent for free. Interest would be charged, not much, so nine out of 13 would be returned.

Hong Gu rolled her eyes at Liu Qing.

Amidst the sounds of "bang" and "bang" from the birds, Li Shimin arrived. This time, he brought with him many necessities for daily life, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, wine, tea, pots and pans, ready-made clothes for men and women, shoes, hats, etc.
Originally prepared for Zhangsun Wuji, some women's clothes and dresses were prepared to please the future White Snake who transformed into a human form.
Unexpectedly, she failed to please the White Snake, but instead made Hong Gu happy.

The girls pushed Liu Qing out of the door and started to chatter inside. Although the hair and scales on the monster's body can be transformed into clothes after it transforms,
But if you wear the same color and style of clothes for a long time, you will get tired of it. Therefore, when faced with the colorful human dresses, Hong Gu and the others were all happy and smiling.

Hong Gu still wore red, while Xiao Ya chose a green strapless dress. After Shui'er turned into a human form, she was also very pretty. She wore a yellow dress, looking bright and pretty.

Bai Sheer could only transform her hands and could not put on clothes, so she had to put a bracelet on one of her hands.

All the girls were beautiful, except for Xiao Ya, who had refined her spirit and returned to the void, and was not yet able to completely transform into a human form. She carried a snail shell on her back, which caused her back to be a little hunched after she put on her dress, and the back was short and the front was long.

White Snake asked mischievously, "Master, among us, which one looks the best in human clothes?"

Liu Qing's heart sank, and he said without hesitation: "They are all beautiful——" Hong Gu rolled her eyes: "Bah, stinky Xiaoqing is a scum."

Liu Qing was met with disappointment and had to leave in disgrace. He went to the Yangxin Palace to study the ingot of power gold.

The land of gentleness is the most destructive of heroic spirits. I had originally planned to study it after returning, but my hands were restless and I started playing mahjong. I played it day and night for several days and only now found the time.

He wiped his mouth, took out the fifty-liang ingot of authority gold, and placed it in front of him.

It is a brilliant gold color and in the shape of a gold ingot. It emits a faint shimmering water vapor all over its body. With a slight feeling, one can know that this ingot of power gold is bred from the power of water veins.

According to Hong Gu's introduction, Liu Qing learned that unlike incense silver, it was produced by the prayers of the living beings after birth.
The power gold is born from the innate power, and is not affected by acquired interference. It can be born from the power of water veins, the power of mountains, or the power of the sun, moon, and stars.

Among them, the most power comes from mountains and rivers.

The ingot in Liu Qing's hand was faintly emitting a translucent mist, which came from the power of a water vein.

Now that the source of the power gold has been figured out, Liu Qing will make an important attempt. He will try to absorb the power divinity within this ingot of power gold.

I hope that the authority gold can be absorbed by me like the incense silver, and the authority divinity.

Liu Qing looked forward to it, opened his mouth and emitted boundless suction, and instantly, bits of divine fragments emerged and were swallowed into his body.
Suddenly, ecstasy flashed in Liu Qing's eyes.

Sure enough, this authority gold, like the incense silver, can be used by the Devouring Elephant to extract the divinity from it and make it its own.

After more than ten breaths, the fifty-tael ingot of authority gold provided Liu Qing with 5% of the authority divinity.

[Authority Divinity: 40%]

Just like incense silver, every ten taels can increase 1% of authority and divinity.

At this moment, the power and divinity just reached the tenth node. Soon, just like the three times before, under the gate, where the gods were hidden, a new group of divine aura emitting water vapor began to surge, and began to breed new power and divine power.
At this time, this sacred place was divided into left and right sides. On the left side, two groups of power and magical powers were being nurtured, while on the right side, smoke was curling and incense was faintly visible, indicating that eight groups of incense and magical powers were being nurtured at the same time.

Two groups of authority and divine power were bred. One of them absorbed the three broken water veins in the Jing River, and the authority and divine power increased to 35%, while the other one was just now.
As for the eight incense divine powers that were being nurtured, they returned from the Jinghe River Festival and swallowed the two incense silvers. The incense divinity suddenly exceeded a hundred, giving birth to the ninth-grade incense river god. The incidental increase in incense divinity reached a full ten nodes and was nurtured at the same time.

Whether it is the power of authority or the power of incense, it will all come to fruition naturally over time. Liu Qing looks forward to the surprises they will bring.

At this moment, his biggest surprise came from absorbing the authority gold, which could help increase his authority and divinity.

In this way, if he has a few hundred taels of authority gold, his authority divinity will reach 100%, and then he will automatically evolve into an authority priesthood.

When the authority priesthood appears, as long as the Yin God in one's body sheds the Yang, one can directly merge with the Tao and achieve the authority priesthood.
The authority of Hedao means breaking through the realm of Lianxu Hedao and reaching the next level.

How could Liu Qing not be excited and thrilled? He had power and authority in harmony with the Tao, and was cultivating both his body and soul. He was not like the incense god who abandoned his physical body and took the path of cultivating ghosts. Even if he was in harmony with the Tao, he would be a ghost immortal, and he would not be free, and would be at the mercy of others. His foundation in the Tao was unstable, like a castle in the air.

The path ahead is clear and without any obstacles. All you need to do is absorb the authority and divinity step by step, wait for the plug-in to automatically evolve into the authority priesthood, and then merge with the Yang God into the Tao, then you can become a god with authority and become a little demon.

One thousand taels of authority gold can match the ninth rank authority god, ten thousand taels can match the eighth rank, and one hundred thousand taels can match the seventh rank authority god, reaching the achievement of Hong Gu.

And unlike Hong Gu, who originally needed to spend a million taels of authority gold to obtain the authority of the Dao, the amount has been reduced to one tenth.

The most important thing is that Liu Qing does not need to be like Hong Gu, who needs to find a water vein or mountain or other authority to merge with the Dao before the Yang God is perfected and the Dao is broken through. When Hong Gu and other authority gods break through,

Authority gold only serves as a fuel to assist in the breakthrough.

Liu Qing is different. He directly swallows and refines the divinity of power within the power gold, evolving it into a priesthood in one step. When his Yang God is perfected, he directly merges with the Tao. It is simple, direct, and brutal.

For example, when Hong Gu and other authority gods break through, it is like Liu Qing reading the immortal cultivation novels in his previous life, using the authority of mountains and rivers or the sun, moon and stars as the foundation of the Tao, and the authority gold as the auxiliary breakthrough pill, the two are combined to finally break through.
Liu Qing was very simple and crude. He directly took drugs to obtain authority gold. He used the authority gold as both the foundation of Taoism and as a pill to break through the levels. There was no need for any trouble and he could get it done in one step.

Just like the union of incense and Tao, as long as the Yang Spirit is perfect, it will directly merge with Tao.

At the moment, the incense priesthood in Liu Qing's body has evolved, the Yin spirit has also solidified and is about to shed its Yang, and the authority priesthood has also reached the halfway point.

At that time, Liu Qing will have the choice between the two paths of incense and power. However, the path of incense has no future, while the path of power brings eternal life.

There is no need for comparison. Liu Qing would naturally choose the power of Hedao, follow the path of power and godhood, and then live forever and freely.

But, wouldn’t it be a waste to just leave the incense and the priesthood?
But Liu Qing still couldn't figure out how to use the incense and priesthood, and he was really worried. Others had to work hard to embark on a path,

Liu Qing easily got two paths, which brought him more choices but also more troubles. Alas, happy troubles.

If Liu Qing's thoughts were heard by the demon, it would definitely curse. We have been pursuing this all our lives, going through countless hardships, and finally we can embark on one of these paths with smoke rising from our ancestors' graves.

You have two paths to immortality, yet you're still worried about only being able to take one and wasting one.
Hiss, if you are such a bad boy, just be a human being.

Hong Gu knocked on the door outside: "Xiao Qing, that mortal Li Shimin has packed up this batch of salt and is leaving in a hurry. Would you like to see him off?"

This should be delivered.

Li Shimin brought his men to the Snake Pond early in the morning. The previous batch of salt had been sold out, and they had made a good harvest. This time, Liu Qing treated him to a banquet, and then he asked Crab Left Hand to kill all the river monsters.
Just like last time, we carried salt weighing 50 kilograms per clam shell on our heads, left Snake Pond, and arrived at the southeast of Xiaolugou. We then took the water to deliver the salt to the shore.
The goods were then received by Li Shimin's personal servants, transported to Lijiabao, and sold everywhere with the help of the Li family's vast network of contacts.

At this time, Li Shimin must have handed them over to his left hand. He was anxious to return home, and Liu Qing could not stop him, so he had to see him off.
